Can't tell if the bear is hanging onto the same tree that the dogs are treeing up on up if it is I would say that's a bruiser right there. Nice pictures and good looking dogs.
Thats what I was going to guess, possibly could of treed it twice? Seems almost like a different tree in the 2 pics, maybe its just the bad resoultion or something.
the first pic the hounds were tied back the second pic is after the bear came down we treed him again, just wanted to make sure he could still climb again, and take my word for it thats a big bear pushing close to 400 pounds, we only had 4 dogs down on him they did a real good job
